Memory: Something For Real
[AGNES, spoken]
There are things you don't know about me, Jasper
[AGNES, sung]
You see this hoodie, it mumbles, "Ain't I sweet?"
This hair dyed mellow yellow swears I'm complete
A goodie-goodie with no trace of despair
Combed and tucked, primped and plucked
But a hand is covering my mouth, screaming, let this armor be steel
I just wanna say something for real
[JASPER]
She takes communion, while he takes one more line
She prays to Jesus, freeze us, smiles, all is fine
He lets their union shatter, she turns her cheek
I go on, going gone
But my hand grips, clenched to a fist
Pounding, can't they see how I feel?
I just wanna do something for real
[AGNES, spoken]
Let's change things. From this moment on, we will do it right
You and me, together
It has to start somewhere why not tonight?
And we won't dare look back
[BOTH, sung]
And we won't dare look back
Let's lose our cover, let's face this in the flesh
I'm tired of hiding, striding, close to the line
We might discover how a soul refresh
[JASPER]
No more living so dead
[AGNES]
No more dead, but alive
[BOTH]
Grab my hand, friend, pull me in tight
Touching, now we're ready to do
[AGNES]
With what we could make
[BOTH]
Something for real
[JASPER]
Let's be the first
[BOTH]
Something for real
Jasper and Agnes
Something for real
